Simmy Lennon is a perfectionist. Her brothers and her boss are not. One of her brothers is a world-traveling, carefree free-thinker. Her other brother is an unregimented, messy coffee-shop owner. Her boss, the youngest editor-in-chief of Lloyd and Lansing Publishing, though having an undeniably keen eye for a good novel, is spoiled, unorganized and unfocused in every other aspect of his life.

"I think something might have happened to me Saturday night. Something bad." Private Investigator Dani Ripper's client list is nuttier than the Looney Tunes conga line, but she diligently solves one crazy case after another, waiting for a game-changer. Enter Riley Freeman, 17-year-old honor student. Saturday afternoon Riley quietly placed a little strawberry sticker on her private area and pretended it was a tattoo. She didn't tell anyone about it. That night she went to a slumber party that featured drinking and boys. Riley fell asleep, woke up the next day with no reason to think anything happened... ...Until Monday, at school, when a classmate called her Strawberry. Coincidence or crime? Dani agrees to investigate. And the roller coaster ride begins.

Sam is the most promising swordsman among this year’s crop of Paladin trainees...and knows it. Brash, cocky, and unbeatable with a sword (well, almost), Sam is the kingdom of Thule’s best hope against the violence wrought by demons. The only problem is that Sam is really Lady Samantha, daughter of the seventeenth Duke of Haywood, and if her father has his way, she’ll be marrying a Paladin, not becoming one. But Sam has never held much interest in playing damsel-in-distress, and so she rescues herself from a lifetime of boredom and matrimonial drudgery. Pity that Tristan Lyons, the Paladin assigned to train her, is none other than the hero of her childhood. He hasn’t recognized her as Lady Samantha--yet-- but if he does, he’ll take away her sword and send her packing. Sam is not the only trainee hiding secrets: Braeden is a half-demon with a dark past that might be unforgivable. Sam, Braeden and Tristan set out for the western coast, charged with rooting out an infestation of demons that has made the West unlivable. As they travel, they uncover a deep-seated corruption of power that threatens to derail everything they stand for. Rebellion stirs, led by a rival faction of warriors who tempt Sam to join them with an irresistible offer. A war between men is coming, and Sam must pick a side. Will saving the kingdom cost her life -- or just her heart? Reminiscent of Mulan, but with a medieval fantasy twist, Paladin is a tale of adventure, action, and romance.

“And then, finally, they unlocked the cuffs for the last time.” It has been three years since Holden Riley was sent to prison after breaking into the city’s largest bank on a mission: escape with enough money to take care of his struggling family. He was the most promising young man in one of New York’s poorest districts, with luck far from his side. He cut himself off from the world, holed up in his cell and tried to forget what he had cost his family. Now, at twenty years old, his sentence has come to an end and he’s beginning to get back on his feet. His struggles are far from over though. With a mother driven psychotic from grief and three siblings in foster care, Holden has a long road ahead of him. This former prisoner is trying to assimilate back into the role of a big brother. Struggling for redemption while trying to win over the foster care system won’t be easy, and Holden won’t be able to do it alone. He’ll need to hand over his trust to a few new faces, along with some old ones, and open his heart to something he’s always run from. The road is uphill from here, and getting the cuffs off is only the beginning.
